My 07 530i keeps loosing tire pressure. Could be 5lb or more and it is random. Could be the front tire today and could be the back one in a week or two.
I had one of the tires that was low check out and they say no leaks so I am stumped. Any one have any ideas?

Maybe the valve itself is leaking? Or you have a cracked rim?

sometimes the bead of the tire no longer seals properly
so just breaking the bead and resealing it will fix it
...i know cause its happened to me twice
if u take off the tire and apply soapy water to it... bubbles will be produced to any area air is leaking out ot
did this yesterday to my front driver side tire and saw the bead bubbling... easy fix
valve steam, as mentioned earlier, can also be the issue

+1 Happened to me as well on one tire. Took it to a tire shop, they pulled the tire, reseated the bead and voila--fixed. Then they mounted and balanced it and the total cost was only $24.95!
